Chen Chieh-Jen: military court and prision

Authors
Chen Chieh-Jen, Susana Sanz Giménez

The Taiwanese Chen Chieh-Jen is one of the artists that emerged in one of the areas of rising importance in the international scene of the last decade. In his work he presents a critical consideration about power strategies examining the recent history of his country and rescuing specific situations that evidence control devices, violence, submission and alienation, while also exploring in the visual languages the complex relations between image and power. In addition to the catalogue of the “Production”’ programme, there is also the text “In front of my house: military court and prison” and an essay by Susana Sanz Giménez, specialist in Asian art with a doctoral thesis on his oeuvre.
